    BTW: Does anyone know what the torque specs are for the bolt on a steering wheel?

    29-36 ft/lbs.

    It's recommended to use anti-sieze on the threads to make subsequent remmoval easier. AR people might also use a new nylon lined nut.
    ...and across the line.

    Thanks for the info BR. Normally I would do like 3bean, not worry about torque specs on a steering collum. I mean its not like your not going to notice if it starts to get a little loose, then you just tightening it a little more next time But I was just going by what the directions said so I was like what the hay, its 11 pm and its not like I'm doing it right now so there you have it :-D

    Well, I got the steering wheel on last night. I was going to take some photos of it; but my camera phone doesn't work so well in the dark. I also forgot to take them this morning. I will be up at the meet today, and I will try to get some pictures of it before it gets dark.

    Total cost of all the goodies $289.90 (After shipping)
    Steering Wheel listed for $119.90
    I bought it with a combo package so I think I saved like $10 or something like that.

    More info and other setups can be found here.
